This is Marvin Miller's fascinating account of the rise of the Major League Baseball Players Association, a.k.a. the major league players' union, and his own role in that rise as the union's executive director. Miller's book provides an insider's view of this history of player/owner relations, the development of the players' power to defend their rights and enhance their own earning power. The book also details clearly the causes and issues involved in each of the player strikes and owner lockouts over the years. The owners don't come off too well in this chronicle to put it mildly.
